No doubts about Martina Hingis
(yahoo)
26 May 1999

PARIS - No doubts about Martina Hingis. She showed she clearly deserves her top ranking with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Amelie Mauresmo.

The match recalled the Australian Open final in which Hingis said the muscular Frenchwoman was ``half a man.'' Mauresmo acknowledges being gay.

The fans at Roland Garros remembered. Some booed when the Swiss star questioned a call, and even when she walked off court. Hingis smiled through much of the match as she often does, seemingly unaffected.

Hingis made fewer errors and hitting sharper, smarter shots. She was broken only once, in the first set, and broke Mauresmo five times in the match.
